    My truck broke down in Bushnell, Nebraska on interstate 80. I googled truck repair and towing and came across this number 855-655-9800. I called them and they offered to tow me to a city near by for $500.00 but had to make the payment with a COM Check. I gave the guy the check information over the phone and he had sent a different company to get me towed. When the legitimate company came they had said that they never received any payments and I had to pay them additional fees.This FAKE company is advertising online and stealing from truck drivers. He also has an additional number that traces back to Toronto 647-695-3846.

    You hang up the moment they said sending a second company. And intercept that outgoing payment.

    Then call the lawman to show up right quick for you are getting ready to file a report.

    Ive called tows before big and small. It has to be the same company called that shows up otherwise no go.

    Do you think they would say they're sending a second company?

    Why would you pay over the phone for a tow... before you're towed? :scratch:

    And I've never seen a legitimate towing company that couldn't be paid by credit card.

    Only ever had two scenarios with tow companies

    #1 Company pays for it ( via Billing ) .. i hand the tow people
    off to the company

    #2 Breakdown service dispatches the tow truck
    to my location ( company pays for it )

    all ive ever had to do is sit there and wait .

    I try to make it a point to use Kentucky based tow companies exclusively.
